Mechanism of Action
This extract functions primarily as a potent skin conditioner, supporting overall skin health and resilience. Its diverse pharmacological actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and astringent properties, contribute to its efficacy. At a molecular level, its active naphthoquinone compounds, notably lapachol and β-lapachone, are believed to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine responses, thereby mitigating skin aging and enhancing longevity, hydration, and luminosity.
